Hi Roy As Chris has said it will involve 2 way switching and without seeing an electrician wouldn't be able to really advise as there are a few different ways it could be wired You will need to get an electrician out to look at it and he will sort for you. Thanks

cant give definitive answer without seeing. The triple (red,blue,yellow) is usually used for 2way (up&down) lighting on stairs etc. That still leaves three reds, so someone competent would need to look at it...Sorry.

What would you like to do now?
